Fall TV Shows in Trouble

There’s a logjam of new TV shows debuting this fall… and they can’t all survive. Now that the cancellation axe has officially started falling (RIP, "Made in Jersey"), we’re calling out the other newcomers that might be in danger already. — Dave Nemetz, Yahoo! TV

Mob Doctor

This muddled mash-up of “ER” and “The Sopranos” can’t approach either of those two great shows when it comes to ratings: It

debuted DOA to a sickly 5.1 million viewers -- down 30% from its “Bones” lead-in. (It just barely topped a “2 Broke Girls” repeat, for crying out loud!) In Week 2, against much stiffer competition, “Mob Doctor”

withered even further to just 4 million viewers, finishing a distant fourth in the time slot. You thought mobsters were tough… try making network executives angry.

Prognosis: Will be taken off life support soon enough. Fox will probably replace it with something starring Gordon Ramsay by Thanksgiving.
